We went up to the staffroom, and Mr L. was there having a drink. He said hello, and now Im the envy of Kathy. Mr L. was my percussion teacher. In an all girls school a young reasonably good looking man had cult status. In this extract I assume I mean coffee. Unfortunately, poor Mr L. got in the Guardian for allowing timpanum to fall off stage during a live broadcast whilst he was drunk. Sadly, he died a couple of years later.
In Latin I was bored again and I was talking to Andrea J. Miss F asked if I was talking, and I said yes, so she asked if it was a common habit so I said yes.
Ann-Marie B was being totally immature, and said that Kathy s a real creep, and I stood up (loosely speaking) for Kathy. Ann Marie wanted to make friends with MOI (thats me), but I said would she make friends with Kathy, and she said no. I told her she neednt attempt a false friendship with me, and not even pretend to be friendly with one of my best friends.
We also heated iodine which looked like a witches brew, or so I said. I also suggested that praps Mrs R was the witch. But that *BITCH* of an Ann-Marie said that it was Kathys. Oh yes, Ann-Marie said that Kathy ought to bring an apple for Mrs S tomorrow.
I use to think that Ann-Marie was real nice but now I know a LOT different. She is, how shall I put it? common, bad mannered and selfish. Thats it shes selfish. Im pleased with that description.
I arrived at school at ten to nine. I wished I had never arrived at all. Mme H was in her usual mood bad. She gave back the tests AND detentions. I attained 16 on 30 (I wasnt able to do the last ten on Monday cos I was at my percussion lesson). She said THAT was below half marks Im going to beg Mummy not to sign the slip.
After tea I did my ruddy French. Mummy and Daddy say I have to do the detention.
In Latin we were doing adjectives. Miss F said that quite often the endings arent the same as the nouns. Everyone groaned, but I said Oh good, more work to do. She said she liked my attitude. Then we were talking about Rome. She said that there are three Romes a) the classical Rome b) the Renaissance Rome and c) the modern Rome, which isnt very nice. I said its full of cops singing about Cornettos. She just laughed.
I caught the 264. Josie and Snoopy were on it and Snoopy was creating because he had been given the slipper twice because Josie had drawn on his books.
In detention we had Mrs R. When everyone had gone she was talking to us about behaviour and she asked who the form captain was. I put my hand up and everyone laughed. She asked who the deputy was. Mel put her hand up more laughter.
After Registration, I had to take the register up and in consequence I was late for French. Mme Frog told me the next time I was late Ill have to stand in the corridor.
We went to Southport. Needless to say the sea was out of sight.
Wouldn't you have loved to have been in 2S in 1980/81?
